You mentioned "softening the edges of the bracelet". What's the best way to do this? I already read a lot about a bath in baby oil.
+1 on silencing rotor tutorial!
Legend, do you find any difference in quality built on "feelings" level? Something that photos do not convey?
I've yet to compare this to gen AP, but when I compare it to my gen Rolexes, there is some difference.
Overall, Rolex feels very "solid" and "monolith", build quality is very robust, gaps between parts is minimal and so is the movement of the parts which should not move (e.g., SEL joint).
ZF feels more "noisy", but not just because of the rotor sound - bracelet produces sounds when you shake the watch as well, I assume because there is some play / backlash between its parts which is perfected in Gens.
Basically, I would say when I look at ZF it looks as 99% of a $20k watch, huh.
But if I take ZF with closed eyes I could say that it costs fraction of that - even with rotor silenced.
Do you experience something like this when comparing to Gen 15500?
The ZF rep looks impressive on its own to be honest. Without the gen side by side comparison, and without expert knowledge of the watch, the watch can be called out only by scrutinizing the dial finish and color (I reiterate that grey, black and blue all have this same issue). The gen dial texture and tapisseries are different from the rep ones, and if you know what to look for, you know if a 15500 is gen or rep.
hopefully ZF will rep this one, honestly i think i love this dial more than the blue for some reason
Nice and honest write up legend the ZF15500 is impressive indeed. I just received the grey version as well this morning and I was planning to make a review with my gen blue one.
I completely agree with you in all you said above
Some side by side pics I just took

Are you "Tcheeco" in RWF? That 15500 is really unique with all the dings!
legend thank you so so much for this solid and quality there !
may I ask you re. The crystal you mentioned there is no difference, does your opinion differ in broad daylight please ?
yes I am a sucker for Prof crystal that always give a luxury touch according to my taste on a rep.
Do you think this JF piece would benefit from a Prof crystal please ? My concern his daylight...
